Don't really see a Brodie, but a left-shot Seabrook maybe.
Larsson is easily a top pairing guy even if he's not a #1. Only one defenseman in the entire NHL the past two seasons has played as tough quality of minutes - his own partner Andy Greene. The gap between that pair's difficulty of minutes and any other pair in the league the last two years is not insignificant - they're on an island.

That only matters if they actually excelled in that situation. But they didn't.
Getting tough minutes doesn't make you great, it simply means your coach didn't have other choices.
